Built for the scrutiny of enterprise security reviews, legal teams, and compliance officers.
Compliance Frameworks & Standards
Security, availability, and confidentiality controls aligned to AICPA Trust Services Criteria.
Data subject rights, consent management, and data residency controls for EU users.
Full accessibility compliance across all user interfaces we build — automated + manual audit.
Every application is reviewed against OWASP's top 10 vulnerabilities before production deployment.
HIPAA-eligible architecture for applications handling PHI — BAA available on request.
PCI-DSS scoped architecture for applications handling cardholder data — scope minimisation by default.
Built-in Security Practices
NDA & IP Assignment on Day 1
Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA and full IP assignment to the client. Your code, data, and intellectual property remain yours exclusively.
Secure Development Lifecycle
SAST (static analysis), DAST (dynamic scanning), and dependency audits run automatically in CI/CD. Vulnerabilities are triaged before any PR merges to main.
Encryption at Rest & in Transit
All data encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Secrets managed via AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault, or HashiCorp Vault — never in code.
Role-Based Access & Audit Logs
Least-privilege IAM across all environments. Every access event is logged, retained, and available for your security audits — cloud-native audit trails by default.
Infrastructure Security
Private VPCs, no public-facing databases, WAF on all API gateways, DDoS mitigation via CloudFront/Azure Front Door. Security groups reviewed on every infrastructure change.
Vulnerability Disclosure Process
A documented responsible disclosure programme and defined SLAs for critical findings: Critical (4 hrs), High (24 hrs), Medium (72 hrs). Quarterly penetration testing available.
Security review required by your procurement team?
We maintain a security questionnaire response pack, architecture diagrams, and vendor due-diligence documentation ready to send within 24 hours.
